TRAVELLING GUIDES.
Tho Duties and Pay of the Professions
Courlers OF Europe.

Tho Duties and Pay of tho Professional
Courlers OF Europe.
The travelling guides are called cou-
riers. Their duties require them to
speak several languages, which they
do sufficiently for the travellers pur-
pose, If not in manner to satisfy the
critical car. They are furnished by
agents for SIS month, with 81 day
for hotel expenses, railroad and other
travelling fares being at the cost of the
tourist. If the tour includes Russia,
or other countries in Eastern Europe,
where living expenses are higher, then
the courier is allowed 81 day in ad-
dition to his wages. If the tourist is
constantly in motion and exacting, the
duties are arduous, but there are occa-
sional partial compensations in days
when he is indisposed to exertion, from
ill-health or for other reasons. Most
couriers prefer travel with family to
that with single restless man or a
party Of healthy gentlemen,
some one of whom is
always ready to go some
where or do something that requires
the attendants services. These trips
may be for month or two or may last
six months or ayear. Americans who
come to spend summer in Europe
rarely speak French or any other lan-
guage well enough to travel with any
SORT Of convenience and it is this class
that have created and perpetuate the
guild Of couriers. say guild, for
guides and couriers constitute now a
profession and maintain an association
for mutual aid and assistance. Per-
sons who speak French usually dis
pense with courier in France, though
they may employ one in Spain, Italy
or Germany. Some take one in each
country they visit though the moro ac-
complished ones are sometimes engaged
for the whole of Europe as well as
for Egypt and Syria. Many tourists
never travel with guide, but II they
desire employ the local cicer-
ones at all the important cities. A
single gentleman can travel all over
Europe without guide, with few
necessary words of the language Of the
country he happens to be in. This Is
not always agreeable. though he ther
carries away his own Impressions and
not those Of his hired companion. The
advantage of guide or courier is thai
when time is limited it is q matter q
economy, Every thing wanted i
promptly found without spending hours
| IN fooling for it. On the other hand
Il person has leisure, he will iearr
more OF country and Its people BY
going about unassisted. The European
couriers make their headquarters prin'
cipalIy IN London and Paris. In tho
latter city alone there are probably no
less than one hundred Cor. "a"

A Sure Cure for Measles and Sum-
mer Dysentery.

DIR. Cheney, who furnishes the
following splendid testimonial to the
remarkable efficacy of SwifL's Specific
in measles, preventing the frequently
fatal after consequences of this pre-
valent disease, and attesting the re-
markable virtues of the medicine In
the prevention ofsummer dysentery,
is one of the most eminent and best
known physicians in Georgia; he
writes:
ELLAvILIE, GA, March 81, 1887.
Gentlemen-I have used your s. S.
S. medicine with exceptional benefit
ON patients coHyalescing from measles,
A feature of that disease is that 1t
leaves the mucous membrane chron-
icalIy inflamed-that is, the infam-
nation continues from four to six
months. l have given it to several
patients Just getting out Of bed from
the measles, and always with the
happiest results.
i also used S. S. s. In convalescent
fever cases with the best result. II
will, in my Judgment, prevent sum
ser dysentery, If one will take few
bottles in the spring, thus preparing
the bowels for the strains OF summer.
am prompted to send you this
letter, because just now am aware
that measles prevail in Southwest
Georgia. While | hesitate to appear
as voucher for proprietary remedies,
s. S. S. has become such a standard
medicine with many regular physi-
clans, that am relieved of the en-
barrassment ordinarily attached 10 o
regular physician's endorsement oi
proprietary medicines. Besides, the
claims of suffering humanity are
greater than selfish professional
ethics. Yours sincerely,

at is interesting to study railroad
Statistics" said railroad director to q
reporter He continued in the SAME
strain. "There are 290, 900 miles o.
railroad in the world. In 1885 the
railways of the United States carried
3l9, 686. GAL passengers and 400 453. 43s
tons of freight Each person was trans
ported an average distance of 23 miles.
hence the entire movement on all the
roads was equal to carrying 8.541, 500.

takes the lead in passenger transporta-
ton, with $500. 8S7; Pennsylvania
next then New York, Illinois, New

mage Pennsylvania takes the lead with
1O5, 5O7, 9l6 tons, and New York second.
There are about 25 miles of double
track, sidings, ETC.. 10 locomotives,
621 freight cars. 5 baggage and IS pas
senger cars for every 100,000 miles OF
railroad in the United States.
Speed is hard to average. The GO

myth. An average Of 48 $40 miles
per hour Is the fastest time in tho
United States. This is made on the

in less than two hours. The average,
though, of even this fast train is
only 59b miles per hour. There are
several other trains noted for remark
ably fast time on short distances.
Sometimes a straight and even grade
for distance of twcnty miles will
permit n train to run at the rate of
more than a mile a minute. Ono train
on the Canadian Pacific road. from
Cotaneau to Ottawa, averages 80 miles
an hour for distance Of rs miles. On
the Central road the late Mr.. Wander
bilt Travelled at the rate of 80 miles an
hour. An average of S61 miles an
hour is considered fast travelling.
Many of the limited, lightning ex-
presses do not go at faster rate. The
value of railroads in the United States
exceeds eight billions of dollars. --Nelo
